Has potential, Chip. Would depend on how well it matches the body color and what colors will be offered.

I'm sure some may like it, but it reminds me of the AutoZone colored wire loom kits all the ricers use @ car shows.

Hi Chip.

I voted "no likey" but would like to comment that the one shown in red is ok because the entire compartment is done in red. The yellow and white ones are too much of a contrast IMO.

Probably more attractive to those who are looking for more ultra custom look (ie. LED lights, painting under hood, etc.). I don't think it will appeal as much to those who do minor customization (ie. color logo decal on stock air diverter). Personally I've never got the urge to spend money on changing the stock look of the engine compartment since mine is never really seen by anyone.
